Mount Veeder Winery is a beautiful, must-visit estate with three vineyards carved high in the hillsides of the Mayacamas Mountains overlooking south Napa. In total, the property stretches over 120 acres, but is mostly forest and brush, with just 47 acres planted to vine.
Their advantage over competitors comes from their unique vineyard altitudes ranging from 1,000–1,600 feet in elevation. Dramatically drawn off steep slopes that offer cool conditions– perfect for slow ripening, which extends the growing season. Mount Veeder is usually the last to harvest in Napa Valley. The result is fruit with highly concentrated flavors – big, bold and brambly. The Reserve Red bottling is their flagship bottling.

High-toned red but shows firmness and focus with polished velvety tannins and a lots of ripe fruit, hazelnut and walnut undertones.
WS #4 Wine of the Year (2019), 96 Points, Wine Spectator
2016 was an incredibly special year in Napa Valley. It was essentially the 5th straight vintage of near perfect-conditions and a lot of the big boys produced some of their biggest, most elegant Cabernets to date. Groth’s was still one of the standouts in any group, a deeply concentrated, weighty Cab with sappy, juicy fruit and a carefully intertwined tannic structure. Absolutely gorgeous.

The flagship bottling by the famous Frank Family Vineyards is one to behold in the 2019 vintage. This is tied for the highest this wine has ever been rated, equaling the lofty number from the heralded 2012 vintage. There’s so much to this Cabernet Sauvignon that makes it a very special wine to lay down for the next quarter to half century to come. Wine Advocate noted that it “leaps with vivacious scents of ripe blackberries, crème de cassis and boysenberries, plus nuances of chocolate mint, charcuterie and underbrush.” That’s pretty spot on from my own tasting – plus I’d mention the incredibly silky structure of the wine.

“The 2019 Belle Cousine, 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot from Hyde, is fabulous. Bright and forcused, the 2019 bistles with energy. Strong Cabernet inflections give this mid-weight red tons of aromatic presence to match its mid-weight personality. Dark red/blue fruits, mint, blood orange, spice, leather and mocha are some of the notes that emerge over time. Like all the best wines here, the Belle Cousine offers outstanding focus, clarity and freshness.” -Antonio Galloni

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
